Mustang shops/speed shops in Gainesville


Anyone know of mustang-specific speed/performance shops in Gainesville, Florida? Let me know. Google shows practically nothing.

Don't know about Gainesville (there should be something there), however Daytona Street Perfomance is very good--kind of pricey but VERY good...

Dyno runs (dyno jet), on 3 separate occasions, December 2006, June 2007, and September 2007; they installed my 3.73 gears, and I have purchased RP fluids and other stuff from them...

As I said, they are a pricier shop ($650 for FRPP gears, bearings/shims/seals/et al, labor, and oil, etc.) however they know their crap and stand behind what they do.

They are an SCT shop.

I have only used them to check the tuning I have done (via a Granatelli Fuego, and more recently the Sniper Special Forces system). However, the fellow that does their tuning and the dyno runs has impressed me as being quite competent.

CobraR,

2 or 3 years ago, on Wednesday evenings, a bunch of Miata and other automobile enthusiasts used to get together out behind a Chick-Fil-A on Brandon Boulevard or Causeway--I used to schedule my business trips to Tampa so that I'd be there on Wednesdays...

Is this gathering still going on?

I went to the daytona street performance website, and tried to send them an email, it came back as having permanent fatal errors. Guess I can try calling them. I might have to just go with a ford dealership proper. God forbid.

It's actually BayAreamusclecar.com now. No miata crap there. Thursday nights, muscle only.
